Hudson County police roundup

Police say a Bayonne dog owner threatened two residents with a box cutter and then punched out the window of a car after an altercation involving their pets.

Around 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Eric Rivera, 28, of Prospect Avenue, became incensed when two people walking their dog near 54th Street and Kennedy Boulevard allowed their pet to get close to his pit bull, according to the report.

The two told police Rivera threatened them with a box cutter, then wrapped his dog’s chain leash around his hand and punched out the window of a nearby car, a 1999 Pontiac van, reports said.

The victims told police that Rivera left the area, but officers later found him at 54th Street and Avenue C. Rivera admitted he was involved in the altercation, and officers found him to be in possession of a box cutter, according to reports.

Rivera was arrested and charged with unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose, terroristic threats and criminal mischief.
